. , <br /> Wh y is. Scobert Park Closed ? <br /> In response to a petition from neighbors, the City of Eugene <br /> Public Works Department agreed to temporarily close Scobert <br /> Park to all uses from September 9 to December 1. The <br /> decision to temporarily close the park was made for several <br /> reasons: <br /> • Closing the park gives trampled vegetation a chance to <br /> recover. During the closure, the park will be maintained <br /> to help restore the landscaping, much of which has been <br /> planted by volunteers. <br /> • Closing the park gives neighbors relief from current <br /> illegal activities. <br /> • Closing the park gives the community an opportunity to <br /> seek long -term solutions to park problems, including drug <br /> use, vandalism, and other criminal activities. <br /> Hel p revitalize Scobert Park! <br /> • Respect the closure. Police are aware of the closure <br /> and will be taking appropriate enforcement action. <br /> • Respect the park. Look for opportunities to volunteer. <br /> • Participate in finding solutions. <br /> For more information, call the Eugene <br /> Department of Public Works at 687 -5220 EUGENE <br />
